Remember the SOCOM team was going to make a RE game? Well here it is...

Resident Evil: OPERATION RACOON CITY for PS3 and 360 this winter!

Back in November of last year, a leaked document forwarded to Kotaku suggested that Slant Six Games of SOCOM: Confrontation fame had been tapped by Capcom to take the Resident Evil franchise in an entirely new direction. Now Stickskills says the latest issue of the Official Xbox Magazine confirms those suggestions, and Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City is heading to the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 this winter.

Considering Slant Six's pedigree, the story of Operation Raccoon City makes perfect sense. Rather than one character against a horde of mutated zombies, players will become a member of the Umbrella Security Services. Their job? Contain the zombie outbreak; eliminate any survivors. It's a very dark game, giving fans of the series a fresh perspective on the events that occurred in Resident Evil 2 and 3.

The USS team will consist of Vector, Beltway, Bertha, and Spectre, with each character having a specific part to play in the narrative.

The USS forces will also find themselves at odds with the U.S. Special Forces, creating three-point battles between military groups and the infected hordes.

While gamers don't have to be familiar with the series to play Operation Raccoon City, those that are will visit familiar places, see some familiar faces, and possibly even change the future of the Resident Evil series by shooting those familiar faces until they stop moving. It seems Capcom is letting Slant Six run loose with game canon, and characters like Leon Kennedy are not guaranteed to survive the experience.

Lovely details here.

Resident Evil: Raccoon City was made official this morning by Capcom, who verifies the new take on the survival horror series hits the PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 this winter.

As rumored, Resident Evil: Raccoon City will take the franchise in a new direction, having players take on the role of an Umbrella Security Services soldier in a third-person, team-based shooter that explores a reinterpretation of the events depicted in Resident Evil 2 and 3.

It is September 1998 and the action centres once more on the ill-fated Raccoon City and the horrific consequences of the deadly T-virus outbreak from the Umbrella facility. With a cover up required, Umbrella orders an elite team into Raccoon City to destroy all evidence of the outbreak and eliminate any survivors. Hearing of this plan, the US Government dispatches its own special forces to uncover any evidence that exposes the cause of the viral infection and Umbrella's actions. Players take on the role of an Umbrella Security Services soldier (U.S.S.), competing alone or in four player co-op in a battle against all the competing forces at play in Raccoon City.

Expect the return of original Resident Evil enemies, iconic landmarks such as the Raccoon City Police Department and fan favorite characters, including Leon S. Kennedy, who as a rookie police officer in Raccoon City is on your hit list to eliminate. Players will experience a retelling of classic moments from past titles Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3 and watch the events unfolding from the menacing perspective of the Umbrella Security Service, giving fans the chance to rewrite the history of the Raccoon City outbreak.


The game will have players taking on zombies, Bio-Organic Weapons and opposing squads, Capcom says. It will also include a number of competitive online multiplayer modes. Resident Evil: Raccoon City is a collaboration between Capcom and Slant 6 Games and is scheduled for release this winter.
